Time Text
Welcome, everyone, to Brighton Conversations.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of brighteon.com, the YouTube alternative for free speech.
And today we have a champion of free speech with us and a champion of American liberty.
His name is Matt Bracken.
He's a former officer of U.S. Navy SEALs team, and he's an expert in preparedness and survival.
But also an analyst and a tactician on so many fronts, he can help you survive.
I've been listening to his podcast with this channel called The Modern Survivalist.
I keep forgetting the name of that channel.
But he does it every Saturday with a guy named Fernando.
They're outstanding live streaming podcasts.
We'll tell you how to get to those.
Matt Bracken is also, he writes for AmericanPartisan.org, which is one of my favorite sites.
We have them indexed on censored.news.
And his website is enemiesforeignanddomestic.com.
And he's the author of seven different books that you can find there.
Welcome to the show, Matt Bracken.
It's an honor to have you on.
It's the first time we've been able to speak like this together.
It's awesome being face-to-face.
A few times we've been on InfoWars after following, so I'll watch your show before I'm coming on, but this is the first time we're having a conversation.
Yeah, that's right.
We've both been InfoWars hosts.
We're both guests on InfoWars from time to time, kind of like chiming in as experts on different things.
But...
Let's start with, I think, the most important part here.
As we're recording this, we're less than two weeks away from the election.
You and I both have predicted the possibility of some major violence and uprising from the radical left.
Where we stand today, what do you think is the most likely scenario that's going to unfold over the next two weeks, including encompassing Election Day itself?
Well, just to jump straight to Election Day, I would say there's a 25% chance that we dodge the bullet of a huge insurrection.
I mean, it doesn't mean that the communists will just, you know, surrender and admit defeat, but a resounding Trump victory.
There could be a stealth vote.
People are self-censoring.
When somebody identifies themselves as a pollster, you don't know who you're talking to.
You don't know who the data is being collected for.
So I would say, just ballpark, 25% chance Trump wins 400 electoral votes.
And there's no way they can al-franken their way through a half dozen states.
Right.
That's the Operation Red Mirage plan where they would use the night of November 3rd just to get their baseline.
Okay, in Pennsylvania we need 20,000.
In Michigan we need 40,000.
And we'll have as many weeks as it takes to find these votes.
But that's being shut down.
A lot of court decisions are shutting down the extensions on the votes.
Yeah, and it may come down to just two or three states, you know, 2000 and Bush v.
Gore.
Then it comes to who are the judges.
So you could have a judge that says, I don't care if there aren't signatures on these ballots, and the law says there have to be matching signatures.
I don't care.
I'm going to demand that they be counted anyway because, and this is my own theory and my way of looking at the United States today, the Marxists use any disguise that is helpful.
They'll put on a clerical collar.
They'll wear a Supreme Court robe.
They will be a district attorney, you know, a George Soros district attorney.
And the goal for them is to be able to backstop one another where the DA, the judge, the mayor, the police, you know, the mayor who controls the police, say, in Portland and Seattle, they can work the entire system so that, you know, these Antifa vandals just get released night after night.
But somebody who is in Milwaukee who's just standing in their house with people screaming in his yard, shining lasers and threatening to destroy his house, just appears in the window with a shotgun and he's arrested.
And that works where you've got the DA, the judge, all of these covered.
And there are some states where it'll come down to judges saying, no, you can't stop the vote.
You have to keep counting until we get to the Al Franken number.
That's not how Franken became a senator.
That is, yeah.
They kept finding votes in car trunks and under desks and so on until he won by, what, a few hundred, I think.
Right, a few hundred.
Like felons, you know, just unbelievable.
So that's their plan.
And if it's a close election, as Hillary Clinton said, under no conditions concede.
Okay, but that's...
I'm sorry to interrupt, but that's your 25% scenario.
What's your 75% scenario?
The 75% scenario is it's close enough for them to obfuscate and just keep counting.
And while the counting is going on, the Antifa BLM RevCom component is going to kick it into high gear, and it will be almost an extortion against the country at that point.
You know, unless it goes our way, we're going to make the country ungovernable.
You know, there's a chance that this backfires against them spectacularly, because if they just start blocking highways all over the country, for example, I just saw, this is video, I think, from Portland yesterday,
where A federal SUV blocked by people, it just laid on the horn and started driving forward at like 5 miles an hour, which is what we've been discussing on Fernando's podcast, the Modern Survivalist podcast.
If you just drive forward slowly, no human being can stop you.
If you drive forward at full speed, no human being can stop you either.
But if you're a civilian and you do that and then you kill some people, then a local judge is going to crucify you.
Yeah, right, but...
If you drive forward slowly, they can't stop the vehicle.
But the point is, though, this was a federal vehicle filmed doing it.
So it's an SOP. It's good enough for the feds.
It's good enough for you and me and our truck.
Lay on the horn, which is fair warning, and then just move ahead at five miles an hour.
People will get out of the way.
I use the same technique to get cattle off my driveway, too.
It does work totally great in Texas as well.
Longhorns blocking the road.
You just kind of get close and they move out of the way.
They respect the weight.
They do.
I mean, they're large, but my car is larger.
What about the fact that it seems like the rules of engagement are going to change after the election?
election because at least my sense is that patriots have been holding their fire on a lot of these things.
They've been putting up with a lot of violence from the left and taking it and just staying calm, which is the right thing to do because the media is just waiting for an opportunity to portray anybody with an AR-15 as some kind of lunatic.
Look what they did to Kyle Rittenhouse as well.
So, but do you think that the rules of engagement are going to change in people's minds after the election?
I think that it's just going to be more widespread.
You You know, there's a way of looking at Portland and Seattle as sort of like the Spanish Civil War in reference to the Greater World War in Europe, like a testbed.
A lot of the rioters in Seattle and Portland, they're not locals.
They've come from other cities.
They're there to get wet-blooded, you know, in a sense, as street rioters.
But a lot of what the left, it's a really huge factor, understanding the left, is their projection.
You know, Hillary Clinton was coordinating through Christopher Steele with the Russian agent to create the dossier, which they then project onto Trump.
You know, Hunter Biden was...
Taking bribes from Ukraine and China.
Then they project corruption onto their enemies.
Well, they're very weak and cowardly, and they project weakness and cowardice on us.
What they're mistaking is Christian, civilized forbearance and tolerance.
If our side wanted to get rid of BLM, they would be gone at a single riot because the firepower we could bring on them would be annihilational.
We have been cycling people through these desert wars for the last 20 years, and we have hundreds of thousands of troops that know about urban warfare.
Absolutely.
And that's why they've bought AR-15s.
That's why they've got the same platform, basically, that they had in the military.
But where I see, I wouldn't call it exactly rules of engagement, and what I've been espousing, if the police can't protect you in your neighborhood, if they're not going to come to your house to stand between you and the mob, Then as free people, it's up to us to protect our own neighborhoods.
We can't just dial 911 and then go into sheep mode waiting for the, you know, wolf.
If 911 isn't being answered, because as we saw, for example, in Kenosha, before the National Guard came in, All the police did was guard the government infrastructure.
They put big barricades around the government buildings, guarded that, and said, hey, suburbs, you're on your own.
That's going to be very typical.
So neighborhoods will have to protect themselves.
And that's, I wouldn't call it exactly a rule of engagement, but As soon as rioters leave an urban core, because it's hard, as we saw with Kyle Rittenhauer in that group, it's hard to leave your suburb, move to an urban area to protect gas stations, for example, and have that turn out well.
It's going to be a real friction zone, as we saw with the Kyle Rittenhouse case.
But when they come into the suburban neighborhoods that we saw in the other town in Wisconsin last week, you know, smashing windows right in houses, I think then all bets are off.
And what we've been learning in various cases, the McCloskey's in St.
Louis, the guy with the shotgun in Milwaukee, you can't defend your house from your porch.
Because it's all on video.
So even if a mob comes right up to your house, onto your lawn, screaming lasers, bricks, If you step out with a gun, you're probably going to wind up the one arrested.
Because we've seen over and over, like in Berkeley with the free speech demonstrations, Denver, the previous one to this one with the shooting, one a month ago, it's easier for the police to disperse or arrest a handful of patriots than to try to arrest a hundred Antifas who are actually violent.
They'll just arrest the patriots.
So when they come into our neighborhoods, we have to be proactive on them, but not just waiting for them to come to your yard.
It has to be people looking at the mob coming into the neighborhood and confronting them at that point.
Well, it brings up a couple of questions, but I've also said in podcasts that you need to be able to communicate with your neighbors using radios, like, you know, classic Baofeng radios.
You need to be able to maneuver, and you need to be able to engage violent terrorists at range, outside the range of their...
They have arms or videos because they're trying to get you on video.
But if you're taking a 300-yard shot from a hedge line, they're not going to get that on camera.
And if you're defending your neighborhood against violent terrorists who are, let's say, already engaged in arson, Or felony property destruction or violent assaults on other people in the neighborhood, at least in Texas, you know, check your local laws, folks.
But in Texas, you absolutely have the right to engage them with lethal force to stop a felony crime.
Now, I don't know.
It's probably that way in Florida, too, I would imagine, right?
Well, historically, the laws against mobs have been very, very strict.
Once a mob is engaged in riot, arson, they're no longer considered individuals.
This is where Antifa is trying to make a dodge by putting press or medic logos on their helmets.
This is pure camouflage.
You're still in a mob.
You're like the medic for arsonists.
You get no protection.
Medic for arsonists.
Right.
And there have been some good reporters that have been arrested because they're out during curfew, and they've gotten really banged around and hassled by the National Guard in the last week or two.
But there is, you know, once they call a curfew or declare a riot to be an unlawful assembly, in the old days, that was where the saying, the text is saying, one riot, one ranger came from.
Because once the riot declaration, the Riot Act was read, you would be given literally like five minutes.
You better be off the public square.
You know, or that's why we were issued a thing called a riot gun.
Which wasn't a less-than-lethal Nerf ball gun.
It was a buckshot pump-action shotgun that was in every police cruiser.
In the Andy of Mayberry days, sure, the police carried a six-shooter and a hickory club, and that was because people had respect for law and order.
That was generally enough.
Cops were usually big bruisers.
If they had to go into a bar to pull out a drunk, they knew once the police said, come on, the next step is going to be a hickory club or a six shooter.
This was when there were not only no body cameras, there weren't even communications radios on the police.
When they got out of their patrol car, they were on their own, literally.
So the cops...
The more less than lethals that we give police and the more cameras, it actually, in a sense, makes their jobs a lot harder because now it's expected that they'll go through a continuum of escalation.
It used to be, come out, or your choice is going to be a concussion or a bullet, period.
And the judge would back the police up.
So people came along.
Come along quietly meant, you know what the alternative is.
But post-Rodney King, with everything filmed, things became very muddy and gray.
But if the police aren't there at all, though, we're talking about how the police react.
If the police are not in your neighborhood at all, then it is up to you.
And the real low-hanging fruit, where it's a clear-cut case, is arson.
When somebody starts lighting anything...
And they're in a riotous posture coming into your neighborhood.
You know, the mob is treated as an individual.
It's a given that mob psychology has taken over, and they're in the thrall of like a possession of the mob psychology.
They don't get individual rights anymore.
So if they're starting to light Molotov cocktails, and you're taking that 300-yard shot at the guy lighting the Molotov, and you hit one of the fake medics or fake press around them, That's too bad, because they were there, in a sense, to shield the arsonists.
They've actually got Antifa diagrams and, you know, schematics of how to, you know, how to throw the bottles from the second and third rank, so that the police fire the rubber bullets at the helpless press and medics.
This is a game plan of theirs.
So when you're countering that type of a game plan, as soon as anybody is lighting anything on fire, Molotov cocktail or fireworks, and the police aren't there to help you, I think at that point I would go weapons free in terms of my moral compass.
Yeah, and tip for Antifa, if you try your tactics in places like Texas, 300 yards is just the low end of the range that you're going to be engaged with because there are hunters all over Texas and former military and active duty military and SWAT team snipers and so on.
You know, 300 yards is a warm-up range for a.308 caliber rifle.
You know, it's capable to 800 yards with some ballistics drop.
So you're not even going to see where the rounds are coming from.
But let me ask you this, Matt.
Well, two questions.
Number one, do you think they've been mostly in the Democrat-controlled cities where they know they have protection of the local DAs and protection of the mayors, like the mayors of Portland and Seattle and so on?
Do you think they're going to go outside of those Democrat cities and start to show a lot of violence in more red states and red counties, let's say?
And then, secondly, are we going to see leftists pulling out the weapons that we know they've been handed in part by Communist China?
You know, the AK-47s, the full-auto drop-in Sears for AR-15s, and other weapons that they've been handed?
Is that going to happen?
Well, the first part about will they come out of the blue cities, you have to distinguish and kind of make a hierarchy.
The worst is when you have a blue state and a blue city.
Then you've got no protection outside of Trump and the White House because the governor, the mayor, the police chief, they're all on the side of Antifa.
Then you've got cities like Richmond, Virginia, which has a it's a largely still conservative state, but with a Democrat governor and a Democrat mayor of Richmond or in North Carolina.
You have Antifa in places like like Charlotte and Raleigh, you know, the often that's the college towns, you know, predictably.
And I think that in the in the lead up to the election and during the election, their goal will be to make the election process debatable, you know, that.
They want to be able to claim that those right-wing militias were threatening people and frightening them away from the polls.
Remember, they always project their own plans onto the conservatives.
It's like a reflexive behavior.
So while they're trying to create fake ballots or torch legitimate ballots, they will blame the white racist boogeymen for everything that they're doing.
And the media will actually run with that story.
It's like the so-called militia in Wisconsin, or excuse me, in Michigan, That supposedly was getting ready to kidnap Whitmer.
This was a bunch of knuckleheads.
This was a typical FBI type of an operation.
Find knuckleheads on social media, insert an infiltrator who then instigates, you know, and is an agent provocateur to then record what these guys, you know, over beers are talking about their fantasies and turn that into a conspiracy case.
This is very little different than finding a mentally retarded Islamic guy and giving him fake C4 and the whole thing.
It's a real easy operation for them, and it's especially easy because the media, the left-wing media, will completely be the soundboard for that bogus type of agent provocateur operation.
So the things that the left is actually doing to stuff the ballot box or to destroy ballots from conservative areas, they will blame that on the right.
And the media will run with that.
Now, if you're watching Fox News or One American News Network, you'll get one version of what's going on.
But if you're watching CNN and MSNBC, you're going to completely see a validation of that left-wing narrative.
And this is where the country really splits.
Because there will be one camp that firmly believes the right-wing militias are running rampant and trying to stop the Poe folks in the city from voting.
And the conservatives are going to believe, based on their reporting, That the liberals are stuffing ballots.
They'll say, oh, look at this.
Once again, Philadelphia has 110% vote turnout, all for Biden.
And it'll not be reported on the other side.
So the two narratives are just splitting further and further apart, which is going to lead to the overall civil war.
What I believe about BLM, Antifa, and RevCom RevCom, which is Revolutionary Communist Party of the USA, led by Bob Avakian, who's a Weather Underground contemporary of Bill Ayers and that gang.
He's smart.
He's very smart.
He's very cagey.
He's never going to have an order put on his website saying, go out and do arson.
He's got the tradecraft training to create cutout organizations.
That's where the black women that founded BLM, they said, we're trained Marxists.
They didn't just mean Marxist-Leninist economic theory.
They mean cell structure, how to set up cutouts, how to communicate, how to stay below the threshold of creating a conspiracy case.
You know, with hints but not saying, do something violent.
You know, that's part of being a trained Marxist also.
So, while the Democrats are thinking that they're using the extra heat generated by Antifa and BLM to put more pressure, you know, on this election, I mean, I think it's a really stupid plan, but to literally make people afraid, the only way we'll get out of this peacefully is if Biden is elected, because if Trump is elected, the left will go crazy.
So it's sort of a mafia thing.
Nice country you got there.
Hate to see it get burned down.
Vote for our guy and things will go back to normal.
That's actually what they think.
And they think that they can modulate the temperature from Antifa and BLM. But Antifa and BLM and above them, World Workers' Party and RevCom.us, etc., they think they're just using the Democrat Party.
So they're going to ride this high tide of stress around the election to then turn this into a general bonfire across the country.
The Democrats think they're just using Antifa BLM to turn up the heat a little bit.
Antifa BLM thinks the Democrats are suckers, and they're going to use this to completely set the country on fire, make it ungovernable.
And it's easy to do, and there are a lot of tactics that we've seen in the past being tried, like the Metcalfe power station attack.
No matter who did it, it was a test operation.
It was a test run.
I wanted to ask you...
Specifically about attack...
I'm sorry, yeah, go ahead and finish up that thought.
But there are a lot of other...
There's a lot of other low-hanging fruit that has been, in various places, tried attacking big propane tanks.
Just that...
Not that, you know, to make a huge videographic...
A very telegraphic image for the news.
Cementing railroad...
You know, stuff that's easy.
You don't need C4. You can stop railroads with bags of cement.
And I don't mean cause derailments, but you can actually stop railroads in this country.
You can just set a truck on fire on top of key bridges in key cities all over the country at the same time.
And there's, you know, it will take, you know, a full day to clear these things off.
If you do that to two or three bridges around Manhattan, you've just brought the city completely to a standstill.
And these are the type of tactics that I think Antifa, BLM, Revcom, they're going to pull out.
We won't see them all on November 4th, but they're not just going to back away and go back for another 50 years in the wilderness.
They see this as their time.
As this happens, you've spoken about projection.
You're exactly right.
And I've seen intel from sources that say the radical left are going to do things like dressing up as patriots, wearing MAGA gear, and doing some of these things.
So I could see them setting trucks on fire when the trucks have Trump bumper stickers and the people who are driving them and who exit the vehicles are dressed as Trump supporters or militia-looking people wearing camo fatigues, for example.
And then the media will say, look, it's Trump's people trying to shut the country down to stop a Joe Biden victory.
Absolutely.
And then the power...
Go ahead.
Yeah, and false flags are used throughout history because they work.
When Hitler wants to invade Czechoslovakia, he doesn't just go on the air and say, you know what, we're big, they're weak, we're going to march in and take them.
They stage a couple of skirmishes and fake attacks with people in Czech or Polish uniforms.
Then they blame the Czechs or the Poles for aggression against Germans so that they have a pretext for going in just to rescue their poor Germans in Poland or Czechoslovakia.
It's done all throughout history.
You know, you can just go through all these examples, and it's effective.
It works, especially when the media is going to take that spoon-fed narrative and run with it.
I mean, you know that they will.
So Antifa, like you said, dress some guys up in camo, park a truck on top of a bridge, set it on fire.
You get in the car in front and drive away, but witnesses will say, the guy yelled MAGA! Right, right.
They had an American flag.
That's right.
So the guy yelled MAGA and he had an AR-15 and he said, you know, death to Biden, whatever.
But the media will run with this and we'll have to seek out the news as much as we can because, you know, social media will, that's another whole facet of this.
And maybe they played their hand too soon with this Hunter Biden story.
They threw on the break.
You know, they threw the master break on the New York Post, you know, two and a half weeks before the election, when I think their plan was to throw on those breaks like the day of the election to prevent Trump from being able to say, what are you talking about?
I won the election.
He won't be able to say that.
If he wins 300 electoral votes and he says, I have won the election, they are going to block him.
They are.
And anybody that says it.
And this assumes that we even have a power grid functioning across the country.
That's my next question.
You've spoken about this, you've written about this before in your articles on American Partisan, how vulnerable the power grid is regionally and even on a national basis.
It would be a simple matter for a bad faith actor, a radical left-wing terrorist, for example, to take out a power substation outside the city They're poorly defended.
A pair of bolt cutters gets you into some of these things.
And you can engage them from long-range rifle fire anyway.
You don't even have to be there.
Like the Metcalf situation.
Exactly.
And if they take down the power grid, what people need to understand is that it eventually takes down communications.
Because Power, obviously, powers the cell towers.
It powers the 911 emergency response.
It powers the ground repeaters for satellite comms.
It also powers, eventually, the server farms, the fiber optic switches that run the internet.
When they take down power, they throw the whole country into chaos.
And during that chaos, nobody knows what's going on, and that's when they can make their move.
And there are so many currents at different levels.
It's like when you fly balloons.
You go up and down to get a wind in a different direction.
So it's very complex.
But I believe that 90% of the poles we're seeing are pure push poles.
They're just suppressive poles.
They're psychological operations.
But I think that the Democrats, if they are doing their own internal honest polling, they've got legit polling just for their own hard-nosed study, if they think that Biden is going to lose...
Then the word would go out to exercise the next level of violence.
This guy, Bob Kramer, it's spelled like cream, but it's pronounced like Kramer.
Project Veritas filmed him and others bragging about how they basically deranged people to start fights at Trump rallies, things like that.
He had been in the Obama White House like 50 times, Bob Kramer.
So he's a cutout.
He's somebody that gets the street thugs to move.
And I'm only bringing up Bob Kramer because it illustrates how you're never going to see a main talking head Democrat saying on TV, yeah, go out and take out the power grid.
But they speak through layers of cutouts and the job will get done.
If they think Biden is going to lose big, then what they can do is take out the power to Chicago.
Take out the power to cities that they think are going to go heavily for Biden and blame it on right-wingers.
Blame it on right wingers.
Absolutely, they will do that.
Now, we add into this the threat of cyber attacks from China and North Korea.
And what I think is especially relevant right now is the fact that these three hard drives from China, they were put together by rivals of President Xi there.
The three hard drives, this is totally separate from Hunter Biden's laptop, And people tend to obfuscate that, so I want to be clear.
This is a totally different source.
These three hard drives contain not only more videos and more blackmail material on Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, But also, reportedly, plans that detail China's assets in the United States, which I've been told includes the pre-positioning of some military assets, as well as China's plans when it comes to biological weapons and gene editing and vaccines as weapons.
And then I just saw the other day that China is manufacturing billions of vaccines and they're going to undercut the price globally so they can flood the global market with their vaccines.
So think about it.
The same country that built the bioweapon and deliberately released it on the world is making the vaccines that you're supposed to take to stop the bioweapon.
I can't wait.
I can't wait.
I'm going to get one in this arm and one in this arm.
First day.
No, I'm just kidding.
Right, right.
Exactly.
I mean, and all they've got to do is spike like 1% of these vaccines with the next weapon.
And then the next weapon starts spreading globally, and then they achieve their goal of crushing Western economies yet again.
But China will be attacking the power grid, or they could be, as part of this to take down America.
If China thought that war is inevitable, then it would be a better scenario to destroy America without even putting your fingerprints on it.
China would prefer to continue trade, but now with Trump in power, it looks like we've got a hard-nosed negotiator that's not rolling over to China.
If Biden wins, I think they would like to go back to business as usual, meaning the one-way flow that was existing under Obama and Biden.
And more and more control, you know, more and more bribery, more and more compromise, until they just own the country outright, practically.
I mean, the agents are just freely walking around the country in our university research labs, you know, just carte blanche, open-door policy.
I mean, we saw that with the Wuhan lab.
I mean, the North Carolina lab stopped doing the gain-of-function research, Fauci and others moved it to Wuhan.
I mean, this is very interconnected.
It's very interwoven.
So if Biden wins, China has no reason to blow up their trading partner because they'll control it.
If Trump wins, then China would rather, I think, see America just engage in a civil war.
It's very hard to modulate.
People try, like the Democrats think, they can sort of wink at Antifa and BLM and get a certain amount of violence that they think mistakenly helps their cause.
But you can't just turn a fire on and assume it's going to stop at a certain spot.
Sometimes the fire gets out of your control.
And in a civil war, a lot of people are going to have reasons to do things that will continue to escalate, such as taking out power grids, because it's so easy.
We live in this high-trust society where We have been more or less, you know, homogenous in the sense of a melting pot, shared American values.
So we built our infrastructure right out on the open, you know, right for everybody to, if people wanted to hurt the infrastructure, they could do it.
But we live in a high trust, you know, all in it together, e pluribus unum America.
The Democrats and the socialists have wrecked that.
I mean, Yuri Bezmenov nailed it with his, you know, the parasitic wasp analogy, just, you know, infiltrating America with Marxism.
To where even if the Soviet Union is dead, that's like the parasitic wasp initial layer of the eggs.
They laid so many eggs in this country that now we're producing our own communists.
And because we're living in a high-trust environment, we just built the infrastructure in the open.
We put out maps to show people where not to accidentally hit the fiber optic cables and the gas pipelines.
But those maps can be used the other way to cut them on purpose.
And when you have half of the country hating the other half of the country, it's a sense that this infrastructure, it has to be a complete net of infrastructure.
You can't just have a county run its own infrastructure.
I think Texas is a little bit different.
I think Texas has its own power grid.
So the West Coast and the East Coast could go dark and Texas might still be able to run it.
But you can't just have a county-wide modern infrastructure.
The infrastructure has to connect from cities to rural areas.
And if the cities in the rural areas are at war with each other, then the power is going to go out.
The rural farmers are going to say, why should they have electricity in the city if I don't have it out here?
And it's the easiest thing in the world to attack the transmission lines.
Or why should I deliver food to a city run by a bunch of communist Chinese colluders who are at war with this country, right?
Why should truckers deliver anything to a city if their safety is not guaranteed because it's overrun by left-wing violence and left-wing DAs?
Most truckers are conservatives.
Well, once a level of violence happens in cities where there's widespread looting of pharmacies and supermarkets, it'll be very hard to restart them.
You know, because currently an 18-wheeler loaded with food to supply, you know, 20 McDonald's can just drive right through a city making drop-offs.
Doesn't have to have one driver.
That's it.
That same food truck, whether it's supplying supermarkets or convenience stores or the fast food places, once they start getting hijacked, they're just going to say, we're not going inside the beltway.
That's right.
So the hunger will happen very fast.
We were talking a little bit off mic before the show.
What percentage of Americans has a month's worth of food?
Even after all the COVID stuff, when people were doing more prepping, I would say at least half, just to be conservative, at least half of Americans do not even have a week's worth of food in their house.
Yeah, I think you're right.
And a question I always ask people, even preppers, where's your water come from?
Most Americans, I would say 90% of Americans, could not say, I know that my water comes from this lake, and it's gravity-fed to that place where it has to be pumped down to the next two cities.
Most people, it's just magic.
It's like a magic faucet.
You turn it and drinking water comes out.
People don't understand what a miracle modern infrastructure is.
We just take it for granted like it's air that we're just breathing.
But if the water taps go dry, you can't live in a city.
Or suburbs, for that matter.
But the high population cities where people are living in high rises and apartment buildings, without water, they're absolutely untenable.
Where do those people go?
Yeah, and none of them have ever carried a bucket of water up 25 flights of stairs.
I mean, it's hard enough to carry water on level ground, by the way, not to mention up flights of stairs.
And if you have no electricity, that building is probably unlivable very quickly anyway, and it's probably going to be overrun by lunatics.
But where do those people go?
Even give them good intentions.
Where do they go?
Who feeds them?
Who provides them with water?
The military...
It has these things called water buffaloes and other small trailers and trucks to carry potable water.
That's just for an encampment of a few thousand army soldiers.
What happens to a city of millions if the water goes out?
If the water goes fast enough to avoid dire consequences?
This is why we talk about the zombie apocalypse from time to time.
But my question to you is, doesn't all of this that we're talking about, the fact that if America is vulnerable due to a civil war type of scenario, that it is incentivizing China to strike at that moment when America is vulnerable,
doesn't this then incentivize President Trump to be very aggressive in invoking the Insurrection Act Declaring, perhaps, martial law, putting troops on the streets to prevent the crumbling of America that would invite China.
Because we can't allow America to appear to be weak.
I've seen no indication of Trump having that kind of decisiveness.
For example, the tech titans, Google, YouTube, which is the same company, Facebook, Twitter, etc., All he's done is say, we're watching you closely, you know, stop doing this.
But where has been the executive order?
Where has been the executive order?
Teddy Roosevelt broke up Standard Oil and Carnegie Steel for much less.
For much less.
Carnegie Steel and Standard Oil weren't trying to brainwash people into voting a certain way.
They weren't actually cutting off the communications and throttling and shadow banning people based on their beliefs.
They were just trying to get a monopoly on telecommunications, Ma Bell, Standard Oil.
Roosevelt broke them up.
He would have broken up Google ten years ago.
Roosevelt would have.
But Google is stronger than those companies ever were.
And a problem with Trump also is a problem that Trump has, even though he's the nominal president.
And I use this analogy because I think it's true.
He is elected to be the captain on the bridge of the ship.
But when he sends order down to the engine room to go head full, they just give him the finger and put it in reverse.
The DOJ arraigned some six Russians back from the bogus bot farm crap, people that aren't in America that can never be extradited.
It was a pure show by people in the DOJ to give both middle fingers to Trump to put in the liberal news cycle tonight.
Oh, there really is a Russian disinformation program.
That was the DOJ going right out against Barr, Trump, the whole, because they're very emboldened now.
They think if Biden wins, it's back to the Peter Strzok and James Comey days.
It's going to affect Eric Holder.
It will be.
They're very emboldened.
And Trump doesn't think, I don't think that Trump believes that the military will obey his orders.
Milley, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is a real toad.
He's an absolute non-entity.
He's another example, like Brennan and Comey, of subversives who get somehow magically moved to the top.
Milley hates Trump.
Milley is a never-Trumper.
When they were sieging the White House early after George Floyd riots, when he went to the church, like they had tried to burn within sight of the White House, the next day Milley is like, oh, I shouldn't have done it.
It was a political act.
Can you imagine one of Lincoln's generals saying, oh, I shouldn't have gone to Gettysburg.
It looked bad.
So Trump knows he cannot rely on the military.
When Trump ordered the 82nd Airborne to deploy, I think that Esper and Milley would refuse the orders.
They'd go on TV and refuse the orders.
Well, you're probably right.
And the mistake that Trump is making is thinking that if he wins this election, then they will finally listen to him.
They'll finally fall in line.
And I don't think that's the case either.
I mean, Trump might as well invoke what he needs to invoke now.
He should have some of those generals arrested, court-martialed.
For treason!
I think that it would lead, he's afraid it would lead to such a crisis at this point.
He has like Christopher Wray still at the FBI. Christopher Wray had the Hunter Biden laptop before the fake impeachment over the fake Ukrainian phone call.
Yes, yes.
Christopher Wray had that, and he never, you know, mum's the word.
He never said a word.
He could have completely exonerated the president and blown the Bidens out of the water at the same time last January.
So you know he's pure deep state.
And these guys are just...
Assuming and hoping that Trump is defeated and it's right back to the Lynch and Holder and Comey and Brennan, that kind of gang is going to once again be in control.
Well, and the same thing with big tech.
You know, the GOP sat back and allowed big tech to censor conservatives for the last four years and they did nothing.
They said, oh, the free market's going to solve this.
Meanwhile, myself and you and others, we were warning, Trump probably won't win the election if you don't have free speech restored.
We don't have a republic if you can't debate ideas in public.
Now you can't even criticize Joe Biden without being blacklisted as the New York Post talked about.
And the New York Post, two years ago, was mocking Infowars for Alex Jones being banned.
The New York Post thought that was a great idea.
Now they're banned.
Ox is gored.
Exactly.
But, you know, if Biden is elected, somehow, if he squeaks through, and conservatives accept it, you know, that we don't think it was just completely illegitimate, all bogus votes...
He'll be gone within 90 days.
He'll be gone over dementia and or the corruption, which means Kamala Harris is going to be de facto president from day one, and she'll be the actual president sometime in the spring of 2021.
She has said that she would ban all assault rifles in 100 days.
If Congress didn't pass a law banning them, she would ban them by executive order.
Now, this is ridiculous on its face, but it shows her intention.
And she may believe that it's actually feasible, or she can say, look, I know that millions of gun owners aren't going to turn in their AR-15s, but now I can go after guys that I do know have them.
You know, Matt Bracken, Mike Adams, let's just send the Gestapo to their house for, like, little Waco operations and terrorize the rest of them, which would absolutely instigate a bloody civil war, because they're never going to be able to just selectively pull out key people, and everybody else just goes along with the program.
And this is a very key concept.
I know time is short here.
We think in terms of, we're patriotic Americans.
We think in terms of, we want to win our country back as a constitutional republic.
The left doesn't want that.
I mean, the left doesn't want a Marxist America.
They would take it if they could.
But the left has a global vision, not a national vision.
Nationalism is an evil word to the left.
The left has a global vision.
And a strong America to the left is the biggest impediment to their globalist, socialist vision.
And if they can't take over America, you know, get Kamala Harris in the White House, AOC as Secretary of State, I mean, you know, just worst case scenario, if they can't do that, they'll settle for blowing up America, because their vision is global.
And if America, if it's America under Trump, they would rather see America blown up, you know, in a civil war, because without America on the stage, there's nothing stopping globalism in the rest of the world.
That's true.
We look at it as, will we win the White House, or will the Marxists win the White House?
The Marxists are saying, if we can't win, we want to blow it up.
Yeah, absolutely.
That is their plan.
If they can't control it, they will destroy it.
And even when they do control it, they still want to destroy what America was founded on, what it stands for.
Now, news this morning says that the early election voting, the mail-in voting that's happened so far, is not at all putting Democrats ahead.
In many areas, in fact, Republican-registered voters are way ahead in the number of votes they've cast.
And reportedly, Democrats are panicking, in some areas at least, because the pre-voting was supposed to be the Democrat wave.
And then Election Day was going to be when the Trump wave comes.
And that's what they were going to try to interfere with.
But if the pre-voting puts Trump neck and neck, Then, Election Day, the Trump wave, puts Trump way in the lead, and maybe your 25% scenario comes true, and he does walk away with 400 electoral votes.
Then, what are we going to see?
Democrats jumping off tall buildings, blowing their brains out?
Will Hollywood finally move to Cuba and leave us alone?
I think that at the top of this pyramid, the Comeys, Clappers, Brennans, Strock's, They're all in on defeating Trump.
Because I think that they understand that if Trump gets four more years, I mean, it's taken him a long time because Trump, as an outsider, didn't know who he could trust.
And he had a lot of snakes advising him to hire worse snakes.
That's how he wound up with people like Rosenstein.
And Jeff Sessions.
But then he finally got people like Grinnell and then Radcliffe in key places where they can start declassification.
I mean, Christopher Wray should have been fired the day that they found out that they had the laptop all through the impeachment.
But he can't fire him now.
But the day after, once it's assured that Trump has won, I would guess that there's going to be a wholesale housecleaning.
Finally, the people will get to him to say, you have to just purge the Democrats out of the Department of Justice, the FBI. I would fire the top 100 on the seniority list at FBI. I would retire them all.
Excuse me, the top 1,000.
The top 1,000 of the FBI, I would send them all to Greenland.
They can count Eskimos in Greenland or take retirement.
What about William Barr at the DOJ? This is a puzzle, the whole Durham thing.
Now I'm wondering, is he hedging his bets?
He's so concerned about not appearing political.
Obviously, he understands if Biden wins, the entire Durham investigation gets circular filed.
It's just gone, like it never happened.
So, I mean, we're playing for huge stakes here.
And people like Comey and Brennan, they could end up in prison.
And they're absolutely going to...
The people at the level of Clinesmith, the lawyer that changed the meaning of an email for the purposes of saying that Carter Page was not an asset for the CIA when he was in order to get the Steele dossier, he's not exactly small fry.
He's a pretty senior FBI attorney.
But I think that Durham may have flipped dozens of these players that are not going to do a G Gordon Liddy and go to prison with their lips sealed.
If they felt like the orders came down because they had those meetings like in January 5th in the White House with Obama and Biden and all these players.
They're going to say we were ordered that came right from the Oval Office.
Right.
And they're going to start pointing the fingers right up at Obama.
You know, you could actually have a scenario where Obama, like in one of my novels, where Obama has to flee the country.
You know, where Obama gets on an airplane and doesn't come back.
Well, I think that's his plan, is to flee the country and then be put as the head of the UN and then come back to the US as the United Nations occupying force commander or something.
You know, he's treasonous enough to do that.
Okay, we're almost up on time, but one more question for you.
We are promised more bombshell drops from the Hunter Biden laptops.
There are two of them now, and also these three hard drives.
Steve Bannon is coordinating some of this with Rudy Giuliani and others, and they are dropping this day by day.
In fact, I'm expecting another drop yet today.
Yeah, Jack Posobiec on One America News has been dropping these hints for the last 48 hours, but I'm waiting to see.
Yeah, I'm waiting too.
But does this alter the outcome of the election?
Does Joe Biden eventually, does he drop out?
Or does he just stay in and ride it out and let the press cover him and just hope for the best?
It's hard to see how they have the debate on Thursday.
You know, he called a lid from, like, Sunday till Thursday, which is unbelievable two weeks out from an election.
It is, like, five days off.
Nobody needs that much debate prep.
It's a joke.
So I think that he may be beyond salvage in that he can't answer a question about this.
You know, he'll go off on a, you know, the guy he called Fat, you know, that asked him about his son Hunter.
He went nuts.
And now that the emails are out, they haven't denied it.
Calling it a smear is not the same.
It's a semantic thing, but it's critical.
Saying it's a smear is not saying it's a lie.
It's saying something ugly and dirty, but it's not a lie.
If the emails are legit and they're being corroborated with the receivers of these emails, then...
Because there's this guy...
But Bevan Cooney, he has a laptop, he's cooperating.
And so his laptop is meshing with Hunter's laptop on a lot of these critical emails.
He's another Devin Archer guy.
Right.
How does Biden do this debate?
Even with a moderator that's a shill, Trump can just, no matter what the moderator says, Trump can just say, get right back to Hunter.
I mean, Stephanopoulos never asked one question.
It's such a joke.
They're just running from the issue.
Every question, the moderator can say, hey, President Trump, what's your policy on economics?
And Trump can say, you should look at the economics between China and Hunter Biden.
I mean, every question is back to the hard drives.
When one of the questions, there's no question on foreign policy.
That's been put out, which means no like China question.
But when she talks about global warming, which is one of the questions, Trump can just say, why should we, you know, destroy our economy when China is the biggest polluter in the world?
And Joe Biden never had a problem with China's pollution because he was taking money from China.
His son got $1.5 billion.
You know, just shift it right to that every time.
And I think Biden loses his mind.
I think there's a chance even that Biden doesn't show up for the debate.
That he knows he can't do it.
That they're going to say for health reasons he's withdrawing.
People aren't even showing up for Biden events.
We saw literally zero people in Arizona 10 days ago or so.
But it's astonishing to me because I do see Biden signs from time to time in people's yards here in Texas.
It's mostly Trump signs, but I do see a few Biden signs.
Why wouldn't people show up to Biden events?
I mean, some of these events would get 8 people, 12 people, 20 people.
Meanwhile, Trump's got 20,000 people.
Biden's campaign can't do much publicity like the Phoenix event that drew nobody.
When they announce the event, what happens is you get a Trump truck parade that's like circling the event, honking the horns.
So they get more people, like they'll have Trump supporters lining Biden's motorcade to his event.
So they have to keep their events very low-key and depend on their compliant media to just film the podium and not show, like, you know, instead of the little mirror teleprompters, they used the big-screen TV at one, and somebody did swing the camera around.
Twitter actually, like, you know, started banning people that were posting this 10-second video clip showing Biden speaking And then the big camera in front of him.
He can't speak.
And I think that Trump also learned from the first debate, don't interrupt Biden.
You're saving him by interrupting him.
Just when his ears are freezing up, you're giving him an out.
Just give him the full two minutes.
He can't do it.
Yeah, so true.
Just let him talk his way into senility, which is what he's doing most of the time anyway.
Well, look, Matt, we're out of time.
This has been a fascinating conversation.
I want to encourage people to visit your website.
Here it is again, enemiesforeignanddomestic.com.
It's like a whole sentence as a domain name, but it's easy.
It's easy to remember.
I got it 15 years ago when it was still available.
Nice.
My books are available on Audible, audiobooks, and on Kindle through Amazon.
But if Biden wins and then it's President Kamala Harris, just keep in mind anything digital can be deleted from your device.
I strongly recommend people get hard copies of what is going to be called anti-government, subversive, racist, hate-filled literature.
So get the hard copy.
And you can get it from me or from Amazon, but, you know, if you get it from me, I'll even sign it, and then you're not giving more than half of your money to Jeff Bezos.
He has enough.
You know, and you raise a good point.
If Biden wins, their censorship won't stop.
It's never enough for them.
They will criminalize your books.
They will criminalize my website and my articles and my video platform, brighteon.com.
This will all be criminalized and shut down.
We will have to go into the underground of society to exist at all.
Because a final thought is...
In the first election of Hugo Chavez, establishment conservatives thought, yeah, okay, you can suffer through four years of Hugo Chavez.
He's going to misrun the country so badly that you're going to be begging to vote for conservatives for the next election.
Didn't happen because Hugo Chavez packed their Supreme Court.
And once he had packed their Supreme Court, he disarmed the people and he armed the gangs called colectivos.
So there was no fair second election.
If Biden wins Kamala Harris as president, they pack the Supreme Court.
There will not be another fair election.
There will be no free social media.
There will be no videos like this.
We will be underground.
Do you think...
Will patriots across America, would they rise up at that point, knowing that this is their last stand?
I'm not sure how you mean what rise up means, but I don't think they would just be able to do selective Waco raids on, you know, us, for example, Alex Jones, etc., And then the rest of the people just sit quietly.
But I think that the bridge too far for the Democrats will be for them to say, and this is kind of the theme of my first novel, which is called Enemies, Fraught, and Domestic, if we ban all assault rifles, semi-automatic rifles, they're all banned, what will happen?
The Democrats think, well, you know, this will give us a reason to go kick down the doors of these dangerous rednecks and put them in jail if they won't conform.
But I don't think that Americans will turn their weapons in.
And I don't think police will go along with raids.
The feds might, but there aren't enough feds.
Feds do not kick down doors.
They've got a few units like HRT. But when DEA, ATF, FBI, they go to a city to do a raid, they use the local SWAT team.
Then they walk in with pistols after the scene is secured.
The feds do.
If the local sheriffs say, screw you, we are not cooperating on gun raids, then there's really nothing that the feds can do.
And then the feds are in a very vulnerable position.
This is a topic in my novels.
They have to roll out of a federal building in downtown, you know, Dallas or Austin in a column of black SUVs.
Well, what happens to that column of black SUVs when they're transiting across a few counties of rural Texas?
It's going to be ugly.
And you can say, well, they'll have helicopters.
Helicopters are vulnerable, too.
A helicopter for one hour of flying takes like 50 hours of maintenance.
It's extremely expensive.
And if you try to move helicopters forward, not just keep them in a capital so that they are out in Waco and Amarillo, then those helicopters themselves become very vulnerable.
And the fuel trucks that have to drive out to fuel the helicopters, I don't see how it can happen in Texas or Florida because the Americans would then start targeting the feds if they were in a car.
If Americans perceived the FBI and ATF as doing gun confiscation raids, it would be absolute war against the FBI. And they should know this.
I hope that they understand this.
Americans will not be disarmed.
That's an absolute red line.
Well, and I know people who work for Homeland Security who are some of those HRT team members, and they already talk about the civil war within their own units, that some of them will walk away, some of them will, well, I'm not even going to say, but they're not going to go along with it either.
Many of them will not.
And some of them will stay inside and then inform on raids so that raids are ambushed.
Right.
Right.
Yeah, they try to take away the guns, take away the Second Amendment.
They are going to have, it seems, an actual war on their hands.
Because that's, you know, once you give up your guns, then you become Australia.
And now look what Australia is doing to people.
Prison camps for having an infection or refusing a vaccine.
Yeah, endless lockdowns in Victoria.
And...
Along with taking away the Second Amendment, they absolutely have to shut up people like Tucker Carlson.
Maybe we're just friction.
We're just a burr under their saddle, a tiny burr nobody even feels very much.
But people like Tucker Carlson will have to be removed.
And that will be another signal, along with the gun confiscation orders, when suddenly Hannity and Laura Ingram and Tucker are all fired from Fox, right?
You know, and one American news goes off the air and all there is left is state propaganda.
And at that point, it's announced on state propaganda that our glorious Congress has passed the new gun safety legislation, and everybody has a month to turn in their AR-15s, and we know where they are.
At that point, police are going to be put into a position of deciding, do I want my pension so bad that I'm going to follow orders to go on gun confiscation raids on behalf of the ATF? And the ATF guys are going to have to wonder, am I going to actually drive out from the Capitol, from the federal building, 200 miles into rural Texas, hill country, to try to take guns away from Texans?
Boy, I wouldn't want to be them.
They're going to take casualties, big time.
They're going to need new people every day.
Yeah, big time.
Yeah, because Texans...
Well, they should know that.
And, you know, it's not a threat.
It's a culture.
You can't take away guns from Texas ranchers.
Here's my paperweight.
Yeah?
What do you got?
Oh, some 5.56 in there, huh?
It's just a little old-fashioned 20-round metal paperweight.
Yep.
There you go.
Reminds me of what's important.
Absolutely, yeah.
I've got some paperweights just like that.
Thank you.
Let's wrap it up to be respectful of your time.
We've got to do this again.
We've got to talk again, maybe around as we get really close to the election, let's say, or if things start happening, if we even can talk again.
But, you know, until then, Matt, I've got to say, I really honor your work.
I listened to your live streams with, who is it, Fernando, the modern survivalist.
Yeah, for Fowl.
And the YouTube channel is The Modern Survivalist there.
And also, I encourage people to check out your website, enemiesforeignanddomestic.com.
And keep doing what you're doing, Matt, because you're a voice of inspiration for so many Americans who just want their country back.
We just want the rule of law back.
We just want our Constitution to be respected.
That's all.
We don't make outrageous demands.
We don't want violence.
We want peace.
We want our rights.
And that's it.
That's all we want.
Maybe the most important thing we're doing is staying on the air.
Because that's a signal that there is still freedom in this country.
As these beacons get blotted out one at a time, that's another clue to people what's coming.
So staying on the air is important.
And we shall do so as best we can.
Thank you so much Matt Bracken for joining us today.
It's been an honor having you on.
A global reset is coming.
And that's why I've recorded a new nine-hour audiobook.
It's called The Global Reset Survival Guide.
You can download it for free by subscribing to the naturalnews.com email newsletter, which is also free.
I'll describe how the monetary system fails.
I also cover emergency medicine and first aid and what to buy to help you avoid infections.
So download this guide.
